Or some would say Fall.
Both words for this season of the year come from England centuries ago, before the second coming of colonists to North America.
I'm counting the so-called Native Americans as the continent's first colonists.
The term "Fall" is generally believed to come from the concept of the leaves falling from the trees.
But even before Autumn and Fall there was a name for this time of the year.
Can you guess it?
It was called "Harvest", for obvious reasons.
All of this amounts to me showing you some photos I took last week high up on Mingus Mountain, just a handful of miles from my home.
How did I reach this wild and rugged land?
I thought you'd never ask.
Via the winding road you can see in the distance.
It's a lovely drive in any season of the year.
Well, maybe not winter when there can be snow on the road.
